Tomorrow's the big day

Anyone else having trouble waiting until Wednesday?

The final issue of DC’s universe-shaking “Infinite Crisis” arrives in comic-book shops tomorrow. What is the fate of the Golden Age Superman? Which Earth do our heroes end up on? Who is the new Flash? What’s going on with Wonder Woman? At least some of these questions should be answered.

Tomorrow also sees the launch of Marvel’s “Civil War,” a seven-part miniseries that will tear the Marvel universe apart. Not surprisingly, “Civil War,” which reflects some real-world concerns over civil rights vs. homeland security, is drawing some big mainstream attention. Look for Marvel editor in chief Joe Quesada’s comments on the big event on a webcast tonight at ABCNews.com. Quesada’s also being featured today on NPR’s “Talk of the Nation.”
